Hi there,

I have a quite busy SSL proxy server which loses child processes due to
segmentation faults every now and then (i.e. one in about 2 to 6
minutes). There doesn't seem to be a pattern in the requests that cause
Apache to fail, so I'm not able to reproduce it intentionally. The core
dumps suggest that it has something to do with mod_ssl, but since I'm
not sure I'll post the backtrace here.

My setup is this:

Dual P4 Xeon machine
Debian Linux 3.0 with kernel 2.4.20-ac2
gcc 2.95.4
Apache 1.3.27
mod_ssl-2.8.14-1.3.27
openssl-0.9.7b

A backtrace is attached. I hope that someone can help.

Regards
Carsten.
